Let the season begin

While Cherise ran the preliminary 5K to the Seattle Marathon with Jen and Missy, and Shawn and Andy dug razor clams at Moclips, Tom and I entertained Sylvia. We took her to the tree lightening ceremony, gingerbread house display, then to the Christmas trees at the Four Seasons. The next day we hit the holiday carousel, the Monorail to the Seattle Center to view and run the holiday train, then to ice skating. Whew! After a brief meltdown at the ice skating rink, Sylvia recovered in time to choose a mix of candies at a store at Westlake Mall before heading home and taking a much needed nap. The blinking snowflake in the pictures was given to her by a passerby making her night.

The Four Seasons really gets us into the spirit.

Sylvia knew to sit in front for the best view.

Looks like an art installation but it's Sylvia's socks on her Barbie dolls. If she meant them to be sleeping bags she's missed the point slightly.
